Toshiba e800/805 VGA Weather Only Skin

Here's a VGA Weather Only skin that I created for my e805 based on the existing Weather Only skin available here.

This is great!  Thanks very much!

Now, a few things which would make this top-notch for me - and since I can't do it I'm not sure if I'm asking for something someone could knock out in a minute or two or it's a two week labour of love:

1 The sunrise/sunset feature I've seen
2 battery, memory, CF card etc but VGA
3 The day (word - e.g Friday) and time in 16 font for VGA

I'd love to be able to do it but you may as well ask me to knit you a car

cheers

Care to post a pic?  I would love to see how it looks.   :cool2:

Plus, if you could let us know what changes you made to make the skin work for VGA, maybe other skinners can start coming out with VGA versions of their skins.  

Or maybe there is a way for srs to provide an overall screen size system-variable so that the screen size doesn't need to be hardcoded in the skins (either auto-detected by the program, or set by the user in config.exe).

Yes!

And double yes!

Hey Gang,

Thanks for the enthusiasm!

I rewrote the Weather only skin to suit my purposes and removed a lot of dead, unnecessary code.  The only things that I really changed for VGA, however, were to use the 64x64 weather icons and change the xy coordinates to match the increased width (480 pixels) and height for VGA.  Nothing fancy here.

As far as the sunrise, sunset, VGA Weather Only does show these times if you click on current weather icon (the left-most one) and you have recently updated the weather information (less than an hour old).  This timing is a carry over from the original skin, I didn't specify anything out or I may have done it differently.

Adding the other requested features would defeat the purpose of a weather only skin, no?  I am thinking about working on something more comprehensive, but don't know when I'll have time to work on it, so please don't hold your breath.

Lastly, here's what it looks like:
